Description 

Also located on Contest Wall about 7 routes and 80 feet past Porkus Non Grata. Easy climbing to a high first bolt leads one to the business, nice technical climbing up the clean face. The pump will build, so certainly milk an rests you can find as you work towards the anchors.


Protection 

7 bolts to 2 bolt anchor.

While "The Apple Bites Back" is a nice route, I wouldn't give it three stars. I think its a one star route, that's very long (by Shelf standards, especially the Contest Wall) so perhaps two stars. The route is fairly continuous, but no single moves feels like 11c (more like 11a to me).

The second bolt is poorly placed (typical of Shelf old-school). If you fell clipping the second bolt it could be ugly, but the moves are pretty easy.
